The getname_flags() routine changed recently and thus the place where we
were getting the pathname is not probeable anymore, albeit still
present, so use the next line for that, before:
root@number:/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next# perf test vfs_getname
91: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
93: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
126: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : FAILED!
root@number:/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next#
Now tests 91 and 126 are passing, some more investigation is needed for
test 93, that continues to fail.

Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will
share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2
cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster
topology have been supported since [1].
perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like
die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find
problems like L3T bandwidth contention.
This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster
aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will
be like:
[root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS158 4 1,321,521,570 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS594 4 794,211,453 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1030 4 41,623 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1466 4 41,646 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1902 4 16,863 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2338 4 15,721 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2774 4 22,671 LLC-load
[...]
On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will
be look like:
[root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS0 64 18,011,485 cycles
S7182-D0-CLS0 64 16,548,835 cycles
Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs
of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it.
Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not
the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache
resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the
same L3 cache:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
0-31
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3

Some shell tests depend on finding symbols for perf itself, and fail if
perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. Add helper
functions to check if perf has a needed symbol. This is preparation for
amending the tests themselves to be skipped if a needed symbol is not
found.
The functions make use of the "Symbols" test which reads and checks symbols
from a dso, perf itself by default. Note the "Symbols" test will find
symbols using the same method as other perf tests, including, for example,
looking in the buildid cache.
An alternative would be to prevent the needed symbols from being stripped,
which seems to work with gcc's externally_visible attribute, but that
attribute is not supported by clang.
Another alternative would be to use option -Wl,-E (which is already used
when perf is built with perl support) which causes the linker to add all
(global) symbols to the dynamic symbol table. Then the required symbols
need only be made global in scope to avoid being strippable. However that
goes beyond what is needed.

This is because there are stalled-cycles-{frontend,backend} events are
used by default. The current logic checks the event_name array to find
which event it's running. But 'cycles' event comes before those stalled
cycles event and it matches first. So it tries to find 'GHz' metric
in the output (which is for the 'cycles') and fails.
Move the stalled-cycles-{frontend,backend} events before 'cycles' so
that it can find the stalled cycles events first.
Also add a space after 'no args' test name for consistency.

The environment has debuginfo but is missing the libtraceevent devel.
Hence perf is compiled without libtraceevent support. The test tries to
add probe “probe:vfs_getname” and then uses it with “perf record”. This
fails at function “parse_events_add_tracepoint" due to missing
libtraceevent.
Similarly "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" test slso
fails with same reason.
Add a function in 'perf test shell' library to check if perf record with
—dry-run reports any error on missing support for libtraceevent. Update
both the tests to use this new function “skip_no_probe_record_support”
before proceeding With using probe point via perf builtin record.

The perf probe related tests like probe_vfs_getname.sh which
is in "tools/perf/tests/shell" directory have dependency on
debuginfo information in the kernel. Currently debuginfo
check is handled by skip_if_no_debuginfo function in the
file "lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh". skip_if_no_debuginfo function
looks for this specific error log from perf probe to skip
the testcase:
<<>>
Failed to find the path for the kernel|Debuginfo-analysis is
not supported
<>>
But in some case, like this one in powerpc, while running this
test, observed error logs is:
<<>>
The /lib/modules/<version>/build/vmlinux file has no debug information.
Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo
package.
Error: Failed to add events.
<<>>
Update the skip_if_no_debuginfo function to include the above
error, to skip the test in these scenarios too.

perf test -F 83 ("perf stat CSV output linter") fails on s390.

related output.
On x84_64 the output of command:
# ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge true
CPU0,1.50,msec,cpu-clock,1502781,100.00,1.052,CPUs utilized

# ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge -- true
0.95,msec,cpu-clock,949800,100.00,1.060,CPUs utilized
...
results in 7 fields with 6 comma separators. Therefore this tests
fails on s390. Similar issues exist for per-die and per-socket output
which is not supported on s390.
I have rewritten the python program to count commas in each output line
into a bash function to achieve the same result. I hope this makes it a
bit easier.

This test places a kprobe to function getname_flags() in the kernel
which has the following prototype:
struct filename *getname_flags(const char __user *filename, int flags, int *empty)
The 'filename' argument points to a filename located in user space memory.
Looking at commit 88903c4643 ("tracing/probe: Add ustring type for
user-space string") the kprobe should indicate that user space memory is
accessed.

Comments from Masami Hiramatsu:
This bug doesn't happen on x86 or other archs on which user address
space and kernel address space is the same. On some arches (ppc64 in
this case?) user address space is partially or completely the same as
kernel address space.
(Yes, they switch the world when running into the kernel) In this case,
we need to use different data access functions for each space.
That is why I introduced the "ustring" type for kprobe events.
As far as I can see, Thomas's patch is sane. Thomas, could you show us
your result on your test environment?

Some kernels, like 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 in fedora 29, fail with the
existing probe definition asking for the contents of result->name,
working when we ask for the 'filename' variable instead, so add a
fallback to that.

In some situations the vfs_getname is being added both as requested and
with a _1 suffix (inlines?):
probe:vfs_getname_1 (on getname_flags:63@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)
This ends up making the cleanup to miss that one, as it removes just
'probe:vfs_getname', which makes the second test to use this probe point
to fail, since it finds that leftover from the first test, use a
wildcard to remove both.

If that is the case, or if the required lib is not present, e.g.
elfutils-devel in Fedora systems, then just skip the tests requiring
DWARF analysis.
Before:
# rpm -e elfutils-devel
# perf test ping vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
#
After:
# perf test vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Skip
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
#
Then, reinstalling elfutils-devel, rebuilding the tool and running
again:
# perf test vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok

Add a library function that checks if 'perf probe' is built into the
tool being tested, skipping tests that need it.
Testing it on a system after removing the library needed to build
'probe' as a perf subcommand:
# perf test ping vfs_getname
59: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
60: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Skip
61: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Skip
62: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
# perf probe
perf: 'probe' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.
#
Now reinstalling elfutils-libelf-devel on this Fedora 26 system to
rebuild perf and then retest this:
# perf test ping vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
